Well, it's not new news. It has been mentioned here many times.
Here is one example:

Depending on your circumstances, there are lower cost licenses. Defined
user, perhaps? That was the cheapest way I found.

Subject: SEU and V7R1.
I can't believe this has not come up before. Maybe I am blind.
Looking at the articles on the new V7R1 features that Kurt sent out I see
this gem!
Here's what's really interesting: SEU's syntax checking has been frozen at
the 6.1 level! That means that SEU will not recognize any of the 7.1
enhancements and will detect these new features as errors.
This is a disaster!
Both my current company and the previous company have refused to buy the RDI
tools and at $1,660 bucks I am not too surprised! Unless you work in a shop
where they will spend the $1700 bucks per developer plus maintenance you are
effectively locked out of using V7R1 features unless we turn off syntax
checking. A big reduction in productivity.
Anybody know of any efforts to get checking turned back on in V7R1?
